Thought it Would be Valuable.

Mr.J. A. Gum, land inspector for the dis.
trict of Montana, tells a story that illus
trates fercibly how exalted ideas as to
land values may be produced. On his
way to Benton he ran across & man who
had located on 100 acres Of bench land,
when something like the following col
iequy took place:
'.Is this your claim?" asked the repre-
sentative of the interior department.
"Yes, sir; it is mine"
Are you taking this land up for your
self or somebody else?"
For myself, certainly"
What will you take for this claim?'
well, | hadn't thought about it.
Couldn't say"
"Wiil you take $4,000 ana give me the
raneh?"
ats most too sudden; don't know just
what TO think about it,
New" said Mr. Gum, ito make long
story shert, | want the ranch, II money
will buy it. will give you spot cash,
$4,000 feri it if You will let it go at once.
What do you sav!'
''WelI. guess not said the claimant,
Il have an idea this ranch is going to be
valuable, and think I'll just hold on to
her,
As the land in question is some miles
from town, and of course of no great value,
it amuses Mr.. Gum very much to think
how he has made that claimant imagine
he has regular bonanza in his claim.

A Brave Union Girl.

Col. William r. Aylett of Virgins in
speech at Gettysburg recently said
"Why, the bravest woman | ever saw
was Pennsylvania girl who defied Pick
ett's whole division while we marched
through little town called Greencastle.
She had on Il United States flag as an apron
which she detiantly waved up and down
as our columns passed by her and dared
Us to take it from her. And there was
not one man of us who dared do SO.
Struck by her courage and Loyalty Pick
EFT, with hat off, gave her a military salute,
my regiment presented arms, and we
cheered her with good old fashioned
rebel yell, which some of you boys here
have doubtless heard. God bless the true
and brave little woman, she was as lovely
as she was brave. Would that she was
here to-day that might, in admiration Of
her pluck and truth, grasp the hand of
that splendid and glorious type of an
American womanhood. She deserves a
place by those Carthagenian maidens who
cut off their tresses as bowstringst to send
thir lovers arrows kissing TO the Roman
heart

Is CASCADE COUNTY, MONTANA MORNING.

ition taken by I. G. Power while their
county bill was pending before the legis-
lature, and especially his position since
the passage of the bill. Unlike other OPP
ponents of the bill, who gracefully a.cept
the situation, and make the b:.st of it, /.
G. Power declares his infei.sioli of con
tinuing his opposition hy appealing re the
courts, thereby showing his intense hos
tility to this part of Montana. 1t is re-
served to him, o. al others, TO attacs the
almost unanimous sentiments of tie peo,
PIE Of Cascade county, by a hopeless ap-
Peal to the courts.
Il is long lane that has no turn, and
the tine is likely TO come when T. c.
Power will not despise the friendship of
Cascade county. Last year, he hobbea up
serenely as u candidate for the nomina-
tion of delegate to congress, and some Of
these days, the wheel of chance is likely
to bring him squarely before the people Of
this section, when they can have an op-
portunity to show him how they appre-
ciate such man as he is.
Because he cannot cope successfully
with Col. Broadwater, there is NJ reason
or sense in visiting his spite upon the
citizens Of Cascade county.

THE TWO REPUBLICS.

It was pleasing coincidence that
on Friday when Philadelphia, repre-
senting the entire union, was celebrat-
ing with becoming splendor the CEN
tenary of the constitution, the city OF
Mexico was engaged in commemorate
ing the day when Hidalgo and his
brave followers raised the cry Of in
dependence which after struggle as
arduous as our own they achieved.
There was much in common in the
two celebrations The impulse which
our triumph gave to oppressed people
was felt in Mexico as well as in
France and ireland. The day of free
dom was retarded in the sister repub-
lie, but when it did come the arm Of
Iturbide was nerved to strike the
decisive blow by the illustrious
example of Washington and his COM
patriots. In conserving the fruits of
the victory thus bravely won, Mexico
also followed our example. After due
deliberation her people adopted {;
federal constitution modelled after
our own. In that charter of their
liberties the Mexican people embodied
those principles of popular and limi-
tations of executive power, which
serve as the foundation of our COM
pact. In later years, like ourselves,
they amended their constitution and
made it more thoroughly democratic.
As it stands it serves as model for
the Spanish republican states when
they adopt reforms. Like the Ameri-
can constitution, the Mexican has
conferred great benefits on the repuh
lie. 1t has demonstrated that repub-
lican institutions are adapted to every
race and should flourish in Spain as
firmly as in Mexico or France. The
charter has withstood the perils OF
civil war. and on the downfall of
Macmillan was established as the
supreme law. There is thus much
reason for both republics to celebrate
with equal ardor their political an
niversaries The day may not even
be far distant when the entire conti-
the festival of all American republics.

CATTLE INTERESTS.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press says:
"a year ago Montana was regarded
as the region par excellence for stock.
To-day herds of cattle from that ter
rito1y are being brought into Dakota,
where hay is abundant, where shelter
can be provided, where they are hum
dreds of miles nearer market, and
where, even last winter, the severest
known for many years, the loss was
smaller than in almost any state Of
the union. Sheep raising is demon
strated a wonderful success in the
territory, and swine thrive far better
than in the damp regions to the
SOUTH" We answer: Montana still
retains her high rank for stock, and
no stock-raiser could gain anything
this year by transferring his herds to
Dakota. Grass has been abundant
throughout northern Montana and
there will be plenty of hay for the
winter. Shelter can be provided here
as readily as in Dakota and as for
being hundreds of miles nearer mar
ket" that will not count for much
when the opening of the Manitoba
stimulates competition and reduces
rates. Without any desire To fake
from the merits Of Dakota, we con-
tend that the steer. hose and sheep
thrive better in Montana than in any
part of the union. The diversity
which this territory offers in river,
mountain and plain renders Montana
the best region in the country for
fruitful herds and fIocks.

COPPER AND SILVER.

BUTTE, September I9.-The Msaer pub
fishes an interview with w. a. Clark in
which he said:
"1he price of copper has been very
steady of late and is likely to remain SO.
You see, copper enters so largely into
manufactures ia the shape of brass that
tbs. consumption is fully equal to the sup
ply. Door flxings are largely made of
brass now, and copper roofing is becom-
inc quite common in the east so that if
the supply is not too great the price is
likely to remain at its present fairly re-
munerative figure
lis there likely t" be any amelioration
in the silver situationa'
"None at present I am afraid New
York can't make u market for silver. Il
is, and always must be, governed by LON
don, which is ruled by the India demand.
That really governs the situation. 1t is
the amount of silver that India and the
east can consume that regulates the price
of silver. There has been a small rise, re-
